      (2) The Fair Board reserves the right to limit the assignment of booths and locations in designated "theme" areas of the state fair to applicants whose proposed design and use of the booths or locations conform to the Fair Board's specifications and theme for the respective theme areas, and, in the case of the Made in Kentucky Showcase, to applicants displaying goods of the required origin;
